Collection 20

The collectors moved into this home in 1969 and acquired contemporary art for most of the 1970’s. During the 1980’s they started collecting antiques and ultimately focussed on Art Nouveau biscuit barrels (or cookie jars), the majority being in glass. When they were introduced to contemporary glass art in the 1990’s it became obvious that this art form combined their two loves, contemporary art and glass. All three collections coexist with no difficulty and enhance each other’s beauty.

Through the years this contemporary ranch home has been modified and expanded to satisfy an enlarging glass art collection.

Visitors are welcomed by a Gordon Chandler "wing chair" at the front door. At night, the window box to the left of the door lights up, previewing what is inside.

Coming into the entry, one is facing an Ivan Mares work, with views of the living room and family room. The guest bathroom is to the right of the entry.
The living room is dominated by large windows, which provide dramatic lighting for works by Karen LaMonte, Stephen Rolfe Powell, and Gisela Sabokova.
In the family room, Marvin Lipofsky is featured on the bar, and a Richard Sloan table holds works by Sabokova, Jolley, and Dailey.
A Daniel Clayman commission on the dining table is the centerpiece of the formal dining room.
A breakfast room was enlarged into a family dining room to accommodate an expanding family and art collection.
The master bedroom has a view into the pool area.
The master bathroom was expanded to improve amenities as well as provide a venue for art.

The backyard pool area has a life guard, Viola Frey's ceramic sculpture, "Standing Woman I"
(far left), also shown through the window in the master bathroom.
